Giving is not a budget question but a heart question. Scripture is clear that we are to give within our means (2 Corinthians 8:12), and also to give in response to God's immeasurable gift to us of His Son (2 Corinthians 8:9). We are called, then, to be sacrificial in our giving, as God has been to us. Often this is not easy, and requires us to continually seek God's will for our finances and obey His leading.
In your own walk with God, as you determine your giving, we want you to know that we continually pursue transparency, accountability, integrity, and excellence in stewarding the resources entrusted to us.
Each year, with the input of our ministry leaders, metrics from present and past performance, and much prayer, we present a budget to the congregation for review, questions, and approval. The budget is a reflection of our mission to develop followers of Jesus Christ, and the plans we prepare to enact that mission.
